Chapter 124 Catastrophe in the Far East (2)
At this time, we were imprisoned in a dungeon in Central America, and our range of activities was limited to the inside of the dungeon br />
This dungeon seems to be a maze, winding and twisting. I don’t know why the underwater people locked us here. Isn’t it better to have a sealed cell with a large number of guards?
There are many rooms in the dungeon, and most of them have a large collection of books, mostly literary books. It seems that Michael is quite thoughtful and gives us a lot of books to pass the boring time.
"These two days have been boring! Apart from reading, is there only reading? It's okay to play stand-alone games with a computer!" I lay in the corner and complained.
"Forget it! You don't know about them, so how could you give you a computer! Calm down and read the book. Anyway, it's pretty good to have food and drinks a day!" Mu Mu held a book and watched it seriously.
I leaned over to Mu Mu and looked at the book in her hand. It was the book "Les Miserables" by the great French writer Hugo. Looking at that book, I felt that Jean Valjean and I were really similar.
"After running around, it will eventually turn into soil! Even if it is a lifetime of justice!" I said to myself.
"Are you talking about us or the characters in the book?" Mu Mu raised his head, put the book on the table, and looked at me.
"It's Jean Valjean, you and me!" I said.
"Yes! Jean Valjean was hunted by Javer, and we were hunted by my sister and the undersea people. However, I think we are not Jean Valjean at this time, but Emperor Xian of Han!" Mu Mu said.
"No matter who it is, in short, they are all weak, powerless and helpless people!" I looked at Mu Mu and said, and after saying that, I sighed.
"Don't be so sad! Judging from the current situation, the undersea people are still good to us!" Mu Mu said.
"Yes! If it is not good to us, they will not let us go to the empire! Go and save the emperor!" I said.
"Now the earth is in chaos, and I have no hope for the underwater people and humans. More and more people still surrender to my sister. Is she the heaviest winner? But I don't understand why Atzrenas hasn't reacted at all for so long? Has it been blinded there?" Mu Mu said sadly.
"Did my father really believe that my sister came to find me so much?" Mu Mu finished speaking, and smiled coldly.
"Maybe," I said.
Mu Mu looked at me, didn't say anything, closed the book, walked to the front of an iron railing, grabbed the iron railings, and thought. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at me and said to me, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Why do you say that?" I asked.
"I originally had a life of luxury, but I just wanted freedom. When I got this freedom not long after, I fell into a more restrictive cage, I felt that I was almost the same, no different from a fool!" Mu Mu said.
"Yes! You're right! Compared to the past, it feels like a world of difference! However, when you return to that environment, you will still think of the benefits here, such as: I'm always by your side!" I said.
Mu Mu was amused by my words. She looked at me and didn't say anything. She just fiddled with her hair and shook it. Then, she walked to me, sat with me, leaned against me, and said to me: "If, in the future, they decided to let us out, where are you going?"
"Well... I think about it!" I looked at the ceiling, thought for a while, and said to Mu Mu: "If I can go out, then I want to find a quiet place to live with you and a self-sufficient life. It is best to be a small island, so as to avoid others disturbing us!"
Mu Mu did not answer, leaned in my arms, and I hugged her, leaned against the wall, and slowly closed my eyes.
"Squeak...squeak...squeak..." A harsh alarm suddenly sounded, pulling us back to reality from the blurred world. We looked at each other, not knowing what happened.
The clothes we wear are specially made. The people under the sea have spent a lot of effort on them, and have strong defense and precise positioning. As long as we wear this outfit, we will be found no matter where we are.
We just waited there, who was there, and who could come here to find us.
Mu Mu and I stood up, sat next to the desk, opened the books on the table, pretended to read, waiting for the people coming.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and accompanied by friction, they are from humans and people under the sea. I am full of questions about who they are.
With a creaking sound, the door opened, and a few underwater people came in from outside. I looked closely and found that it was Alpha, Michael and an old man. However, this old man was quite familiar and seemed to have seen it somewhere.
Mu Mu also turned his head to the door and watched the three people enter the room.
"This is, the Prime Minister of the Empire? Li Hongzhang?" Mu Mu said it subconsciously.
"Li Hongzhang? Why is he here? He is not..." I was also surprised. I originally wanted to say why Li Hongzhang shouldn't be in Argentina, but I thought that it was probably here with Alpha and the others, so I didn't continue.
"It seems that you still know me!" Li Hongzhang said. He touched his beard, and a silly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What are you here for?" I asked.
"I heard that there is a girl here who is an alien princess. I specially asked General Alpha to accompany me to see! What does an alien princess look like? Today, it seems that it is exactly the same as a human! And, he is even more beautiful, enough to keep the moon and shy flowers, and sink the fish and fall geese!" said Li Hongzhang.
As soon as Li Hongzhang came, he praised Mu Mu for being completely incomplete and incredible, and even praising Mu Mu on the sun. Mu Mu was naturally very happy. After all, sweet words were warm in the winter for three winters, and bad words hurt people in the coldest month of June.
Although Mu Mu was happy, she had not lost her mind yet. She held my hand, looked at Li Hongzhang, and said, "You can't come here to praise me!"
"Of course not!" Li Hongzhang replied very directly, "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I'll come today. I'm asking for help from you if you have something to do!"
"It's okay to help, but if you leave this dungeon, you won't talk about other things! We don't want to leave this place now!" I said.
"Oh? Is this your boyfriend? Is the man from the empire?" Li Hongzhang noticed me and asked in surprise.
"Yes! However, we don't plan to go to the capital, we don't plan to leave here!" I said.
"I'm not talking about this! I just want to know where you are?" Li Hongzhang said.
"High officials in the pass can rest assured!" I said.
I was thinking to myself: What tricks are this old guy playing? If you want to get close to me, then come on! I want to see, can you tell us the two of you voluntarily go?
"Chang'an people? Chang'an is a good place!" Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "When I was young, I also visited there. It was an important town in the northwest, with many historical sites, with the atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties and the majesty of Zhou and Qin. It is a good place!"
"It's just average!" I said.
"This is a bad thing," Li Hongzhang said: "There is the place where Zulongmian lives, which is the winding place in Zhongnan and the turbulence of the Wei River. It is a rare treasure land. Why is it just so?" Li Hongzhang asked.
"The treasure land is a treasure land, but people are poor! If you don't have money, no matter how good the place is, it is a place of garbage!" My tone was very bad, full of contempt and ridicule.
"Young people, this is a bad word! A person's life should not be just for money, but should do something meaningful!" said Li Hongzhang.
"Things that make sense?" I raised my voice: "What is a meaningful thing?"
"Hahaha. Young people, this question is good. What is a meaningful thing? It is actually hard to say, but it is also very simple. After all, it exists in our lives and is closely related to our lives. In other words, as long as it can help improve our living standards and help our social stability, it is a meaningful thing!" Li Hongzhang said.
"Oh? Is that right? Then I feel we can't do it!" I said.
